I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Lisson Grove but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do.

I am going to purchase a flat based in Lisson Grove. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The homeowner’s has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender HSBC Bank. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Lisson Grove. The lease has just fivety eight years unexpired and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the homeowner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an absent freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.

I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a maisonette in Lisson Grove, where the lease is roughly 59 years but she was informed by the selling agents that the seller had extended it to 125 years. She has now been told the vendor was holding off for her to appoint lawyers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it may take months to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?

My fiance and I are purchasing a three bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Lisson Grove which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must wait pending registration of the new lease?

I am worried about obtaining a lease extension from a difficult freeholder. Regardless of the fact that the correct procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the landlord still attempted to get ground rent of £200 doubling every twenty years of the new term. Can you assist?
